Detailed Assessment Includes:
The Step-By-Step PRP Process
Blood Collection
A small amount of your own blood is drawn in a sterile environment at our Upper West Side clinic.
PRP Preparation
The blood is processed in a high-speed centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the platelets from other components.
Image-Guided Injection
Using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance, I inject the PRP directly into the targeted tissue for absolute accuracy.
PRP vs. Traditional Steroids
While steroid injections reduce inflammation temporarily, they do not promote healing. PRP therapy enhances tissue regeneration, improves structural integrity, and supports long-term function by utilizing your body's natural repair mechanisms.
